What causes poor development of female follicles?

The incidence of infertility among young couples is increasing, and one of the most common symptoms is poor development of female ovarian follicles. If this is the case, normal mature eggs cannot be discharged, and conception is of course out of the question. Why are so many women prone to this symptom? The editor has specially collected some relevant information for this purpose, and you can read it together.

Poor follicular development means that in the late follicular stage, the follicles cannot grow to the size of mature follicles, have poor function, insufficient estrogen secretion, and the cervical score in clinical examination cannot reach the expected high value (>10 points). This situation is very common in infertile women, with an incidence rate of up to 27.0%. It also occurs repeatedly in different cycles of the same patient, with a recurrence rate of up to 63.8%. Even in their non-FM cycles, there are often abnormalities of varying degrees. The main triggering factors are mainly the following three:

1. Premature ovarian failure: Poor follicle development in some women is caused by premature ovarian failure. The patient has normal menstruation in the early stage and even has a history of childbearing, but then the menstruation becomes infrequent until complete amenorrhea. The follicles in the ovaries of such patients have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use ovulation-stimulating drugs to make the follicles develop, or although there are primordial follicles, they do not respond to gonadotropins.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome: Polycystic ovary is one of the reasons for poor follicle development. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common reason why women do not ovulate. The characteristics of its ovaries are that the ovaries are enlarged in size and have multiple small follicles, but they cannot develop to maturity. Therefore, drugs are needed to promote follicle development.

3. Symptoms of ovulation disorders such as poor follicular development caused by abnormal functions of the thyroid and adrenal cortex.

The factors that lead to follicular hypoplasia are generally no more than the three introduced in the article. The editor recommends that women can test the follicles when they have not become pregnant for a long time, and find out the causes and treat them in time. In addition, it is best to continue testing several times after treatment, and you can prepare for pregnancy and childbirth after you have fully recovered to normal.
